I've never heard Rollin's music, but just based on that interaction with his Iranian date and the other coffee shop patrons he is one paranoid individual. Talk about being "switched on." Its rather ironic that Rollins says this because he reminds me of someone that may have mental health problems, repeating the same couple of words very loudly to themselves and probably cannot "switch off."

Coincidentally I see people like that walking the streets of his hometown of DC.

I would think anyone moderately familiar with Rollins' body of work would understand why he acts the way he does. Everything he endured touring with Black Flag would leave most people emotionally crippled. For someone who's been battling paranoia and depression as long as he has, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that he might act like an asshole on occasion.
